3DMark 2001SE, SS2, C4

The Zen's performance shouldn't be directly compared with the SB75G2 and Mini Me's. We can hardly expect an onboard solution to challenge a discrete Radeon 9800 XT video card, can we. 5,373 marks is poor in this context, yet it's an excellent score for a GPU incorporated directly on the chipset. Having full hardware DX8 compliance helps.

Decent enough for onboard video. Remember that the tests are run at 1024x768 with reasonable quality settings.

The 9100 IGP's 3D potential is powerful enough to be more than just an afterthought. We doubt that the Zen's intended customer base are hardcore gamers, so not having cutting-edge 3D capability isn't catastrophic.
